Sweet Chili Sauce

I made this sauce for the first time with my Heavenly Coconut Chicken recipe and really loved it.  It came from WOOBSIEE at Allrecipes.com.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup rice vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp fresh ginger root, minced

1 tsp minced garlic

1-2 tsp hot chile pepper, minced (I used chili garlic sauce found in the Asian food section)

1 tsp ketchup

2 tsp corn starch

Directions:

Pour water and vinegar into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat.  Stir in sugar, ginger, garlic, chile pepper, and ketchup; simmer for 5 minutes.  Stir in cornstarch.  Remove saucepan from stove to cool.  Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until needed.

Great with coconut chicken or shrimp, spring rolls, chicken strips, etc.
